Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton told the TODAY show Thursday that she believes her son’s fatal shooting by George Zimmerman was an accident.

“I believe it was an accident, I believe that it just got out of control and he couldn’t turn the clock back," she said.

Thank you both for your factual replies.

We are more effective when we can counter with facts rather than generalizations.

I don't buy her lines at all....this is the same woman who said from the get go Martin was “on the porch and Zimmerman came up and killed him”. It was not until the Attorney took the case her story changed again.....this family cannot be believed.

They have their arrest, which was ne essary for them to file civil suites, so no matter what the outcome now for Zimmerman they will file various law-suites against the Gated Community ,...to Sanford itself, and all the Insurance companies who represent them. In fact if Zimmermans found not guilty then that in itself will be staged as why they are filing civil suites.

This was never about martins death or justice....right from the beginning they sought “an arrest” because they would not be able to file suites unless there was one.

Note she never mentioned this was an accident until after yesterday's announcement Zimmerman had been arrested. All that's said now is to protect the parents from public assessment of their true motives.

Crump was brought into the case because he has a History of representing “racial” cases.....and was contacted by an Attorney in the Martin family.....Crump then contacted a member of Congress in the Black Caucus...also supportive of racial issues who then pushed for the release of the tapes.

This whole thing has been orchestrated by Attorney Crump to get media attention and to seal the deals for monetary gain for all. Sharpton and the rest also contacted sealed the deals.

So anything that's said before the camera is finely tuned as part of the entire show for further suites which now he's been arrested will surely come. You can bet it won't be long before Insurance companies will now be assessing what they can pay to settle the suites.... It's a monetary win win for the Martin family....they knew this from the beginning.

Well, Jorge is in jail and charged with 2nd degree murder.

Mom probably figures he’ll be shivved before he gets out. Her conscience getting to her?

Anyone who ascribes “mercy” to any of these Black racists is mistaken. Mercy does not exist in the thug world they inhabit. Theirs is the law of fang and claw. Anyone who believes they will moderate their racism needs to have his or her head examined. The strangest thing is that when these riots occur, the Black racists burn down their OWN neighborhoods in blind rage and destroy the lives and livelihoods of other Blacks. I don't get it.

Doesn’t it seem strange that no one has mentioned that LE went (did they??) to the store to get video tapes showing Tray purchasing the tea and skittles??

He might last longer in prison than outside in the current envirnonment.

Mom’s opinion of what happened doesn’t and shouldn’t have any effect on charges. Shouldn’t have before filing charges, shouldn’t after filing charges. She is not a witness to the events for which Zimmerman is being charged.

I think you’re onto something. In a trial everything will come out, and America will discover that Trayvon was no longer the cute little 12-year-old they’d been shown. Add to that the possibility that the trial might be televised, and it would all just rub salt in the parents’ wounds. No need to go there when all the evidence points to self-defense, regardless of STG.
